Fair use rationale for Image:Sweeten.JPG

Image:Sweeten.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Her two brothers

This page should mention that she has two twin brothers, who are notable. And co-starred with her in the Raymond sitcom. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 17:58, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Never mind. I see it now.

This page states she has one brother… the one who committed suicide. Shouldn’t both brothers be listed? Living OR dead? Jd.varner44 (talk) 04:41, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Yes her both brothers should be listed as she has TWO brothers. And I have written it now, until an idiot comes along and take it away again, as last time I wrote her second brothet, because her second brother don't have his own page on Wikipedia (like that's more important than reality for some people) 188.113.95.213 (talk) 10:29, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

Template:Infobox person specifies about the "Relatives" parameter: "Names of siblings or other relatives; include only if independently notable and particularly relevant ..." Thus, if a person does not have an article in Wikipedia his or her name should not be listed as a relative in the infobx. That has nothing to do with reality. It's a matter of following established guidelines. Articles about many people mention relatives in the text but do not have their names in the infobox for that reason. Eddie Blick (talk) 00:39, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

See. I was right. Some people cant handle the reality; she DOES HAVE TWO BROTHERS! SO WRITE IT NOW! It doesnt matter if her family isnt "famous" enough for you! 188.113.95.213 (talk) 13:34, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

The article says, "She is the sister to Sullivan and Sawyer Sweeten, ..." Doesn't that say that she has two brothers?

As I explained above, guidelines for the infobox are different from guidelines for the text of the article. Since you apparently disagree with infobox guidelines, I encourage you to post a message at Template talk:Infobox person. Perhaps someone there can explain the situation better than I seem to be doing. Eddie Blick (talk) 02:27, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

So then it shouldn't be any problem to mention her second brother in the infobox either, as they all are equal? If you mean something else, then I guess you want 98% of all the pages on Wikipedia deleted because it's "too much" info for your taste. 188.113.95.213 (talk) 21:08, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

And take a look at the infobox on Sawer Sweeten's page, where his brother is mensioned, as his sister is. You know why? Because they are all in FAMILY. 188.113.95.213 (talk) 21:22, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing that out. The question is not whether a person is family, but whether the family member is notable (as I said above). I have removed the non-notable name from that infobox. Eddie Blick (talk) 02:12, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

I did not create the infobox guidelines. I just apply them. My taste has nothing to do with the guidelines. Eddie Blick (talk) 02:10, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
